It's long been rumored that Fox was courting Chronicle director Josh Trank to make a new Fantastic Four movie. And now it's finally confirmed! In an interview with Collider, Fox CEO Tom Rothman confirmed Trank's involvement.

Josh Trank who did Chronicle, I think this has been reported, is gonna come on and work on a take, or a vision, that he has for it, so we're very excited about that.

But what does that mean for the Fantastic Four? Will they be recast as high school kids? What about the THING? Nick Offerman (that's Ron Swanson, if you're nasty) has already expressed great interest in this character — and we'd like to see that dream come true. Granted Rothman didn't say that Trank was officially the director, but he's definitely involved in some manner. And that's good, because Chronicle was a fresh new take on the cluttered superhero genre.
